Tottenham have shown plenty of promise this season under Ange Postecoglou and the Australian tactician should be handed a number of his top transfer targets this summer.

Spurs are still in with a very good shout of qualifying for the Champions League and where they end up in this season’s Premier League table will have a large bearing on their finances.

That said, “Big Ange” deserves the opportunity to continue to mould the squad in his image, with Spurs light on numbers in key areas and at key times this term.

Expect the Lilywhites to move early for their preferred targets in the off-season.

Here we take a look at FIVE star names who could be arriving at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium this summer.

Pedro Neto

Pedro Neto has got nine assists and two goals in only 19 matches for Wolves in the Premier League this season and the club have reportedly placed a €93 million price tag on his head.

Neto, under contract until 2027, has attracted the attention of not only Tottenham, but also Arsenal, Manchester City and Liverpool.

He looks destined for the very top, but only if he sorts out his various injury issues. He’s managed just 134 matches in nearly FIVE YEARS with Wolves and won’t play again this season either.

That’s a shame as his combination of ball-carrying ability and eye for a pass mark him out as a unique talent who, on his day, could change a game for even the very best teams.

Neto has scored against Manchester United this season and added assists against Liverpool, Tottenham and Chelsea, demonstrating that he can do it on the biggest stage.

Albert Gudmundsson

Iceland’s talisman was in fine form during the recent international break, netting all three goals in a European Championship qualification playoff against Israel before scoring another against Ukraine.

His Serie A form has led to attention from Inter Milan as well as Tottenham this season.

Gudmundsson has scored 11 goals across 28 league matches for Genoa in this campaign, providing another three assists.

The 26-year-old joined Genoa from AZ for a bargain €1.2m back in January 2022 and, a season later, hit 11 goals as the Rossoblu secured their place back in Serie A.

The Icelandic support striker has dealt incredibly well in stepping up to the top flight and is the latest name in the frame for Spurs.

He is a client of Italian agency GG11, who also have Spurs stars Radu Dragusin and Guglielmo Vicario on their books.

Mika Faye

Signed from Croatian third-tier side Kustosija for around €2.2 million last summer by Barcelona Atletic - the club’s B team coached by ex-defender Rafael Marquez - Faye has enjoyed a rapid rise through the ranks.

The Diambars academy graduate went on tour to the USA with Xavi’s first-team squad last summer and sat on the bench for recent LaLiga matches against Real Mallorca and Las Palmas, although he hasn’t yet seen action.

It’s been reported that Barca will look to cash in on Faye next summer with interest materialising from Tottenham, Nice and other established European teams.

A departure for Faye, contracted until 2027, would be a welcome boost for the cash-strapped Catalans. His current deal includes a €400m buyout clause and it’s reported that Barca have not yet decided whether to include a buy-back option in any deal which takes him away from Camp Nou.

Barca are reported to have turned down a €9m fee from French side Lens in the winter window for the left-sider but interest is likely to increase ahead of the summer transfer period.

Timo Werner

The Champions League winner has taken to life back in London very well, although his goalscoring output could be higher.

Nonetheless, Werner has made a great impact under Postecoglou during his loan spell from RB Leipzig, fitting Tottenham’s style of play seamlessly.

Spurs have an option to make the 28-year-old’s loan spell permanent at the end of the season for a reported fee of around €17m. Given his impact and his suitability for Spurs, that deal looks to be a no-brainer, especially if he lights up the European Championship for Germany.

"In terms of his future, I think like most players all these decisions will be made at the appropriate time,” Postecoglou said recently. “He’s been great for us. He was an important signing..."

Quinten Timber

Quinten Timber is the brother of Arsenal’s Jurrien and there could be a sibling rivalry brewing in North London if Tottenham get their way.

The 22-year-old is enjoying a breakout campaign with Feyenoord, stepping into the midfield breach following the departure of captain Orkun Kökçü to Benfica last summer. Timber has been a revelation, weighing in with multiple goals and assists, and even earning a first Netherlands cap in March.

He is under contract until 2026 and so the Ajax-trained midfielder wouldn’t come cheap.

Spurs are reportedly rivalled in their interest in the Dutchman by Newcastle and would benefit from having him adding to their midfield options should they be able to get a deal done.
